My 2011 Birthday Wish List – What Are You Going To Get Me?

Every year is another birthday.  Each year I claim I don’t want anything major, but c’mon who am I really kidding?  I got tons of stuff I want.  Some people might not know the exact reasons for it, but shoot, I do.  Here is my 2011 Wish List.

soccer shoes

1. New Soccer Shoes
I am not sure if I listed this on my blog, but this was one of my birthday gifts in 2009.  I was back into playing soccer and needed to boots to rock out with.  I had also bought my first official basketball that year also, even though the ball was short-lived.

2. Foreman Grill
Even though I might get hated on by my grandmother via she wants me to learn her cooking and she believes if I don’t learn her cooking, then I don’t know how to cook.  She is quite something.  I am making very big differences in my life, starting with my fitness and health.  I want to eat healthy and be able to prepare great food quickly for I always be on the go, so the Foreman Grill well definitely assist me in cooking great food.  (I can’t wait for them steam vegetables, grill chicken, tasty fish, and more….mmmm Yum)

ninja outfit

3. Ninja Outfit
I bet you didn’t see this one coming, or did you?  I want a ninja outfit.  I am a totally big fan of ninjas, samurai, assassins, hit-mans and people of the mix martial arts.  I am not sure when it started, but I want to be a ninja, well at least look like one.  I think that are so dope.  I think deep down inside, I am a true ninja. (you better close your windows…too late, I am already inside, defend yourself lol)

4. Evo 3D 4G (smart phone) from Sprint
Though I am not on sprint, I want the new Evo smart phone.  I am thinking and have almost fully made up my mind to leave T-Mobile after 7 years of service.  If I do get this phone, it shall be my first android phone.  I have already mastered the ins and outs of the Blackberry and iPhone OS, and just need to have the versatility of having an android phone.  (Can’t beat having, Amazon Kindle, HBO Go, Netflix, Angry Birds, ReverbNation and BandH apps on the phone…)

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

5.Strawberry Cheesecake and a bottle of Riesling (wine)
If you know me I am a big pastry fan and my favorite cake is the cheesecake.  Adding the tasty ingredients of strawberries just makes it so much better.  My praises to who ever made this combination possible.  Next, I love tasty and delicious tasting wine, that’s where the Riesling comes in.  So imagine, a nice Fish, sweet potato and vegetable dinner with a nice bottle of wine, and strawberry cheesecake for desert, OMG, can you say BEST BIRTHDAY EVER…oh yea top that in with some Netflix watching right after. Wow.

I have a couple more…but I will write a part 2…I am having too much fun listing what I want…

Though some of the prices for items may be up there, I usually don’t expect anyone to buy me anything, so it’s just what I am going to work my butt off to buy for myself.

What are you planning to get for your birthday this year?  What did you get if your birthday already passed?

Youtube is my TV

Online and offline conversations

Its been a while now since I really watch tv. Everything I want to see is mostly online. Most shows on tv now a day are re-runs, and can be viewed online already, so what’s the sense of watching tv anyways. Watching YouTube has replace watching tv. There is so many content online that is so cool. Whatever you are in the mood for its there. Mostly I watch YouTube for comedy, sketch, and music videos. If I am interested in a series for say drama or just daily life, its right there.

Also what’s good is that you can have the opportunity to talk to the people you are watching via, comments, email, twitter or if they have ustream or blogtv sessions you get to interact. I love to have that interaction.

I even have my own show on there and enjoy writing for others who want to design a show for online viewing of their lives or the content they want to produce. It’s all good fun. I don’t think I would really go back to mostly TV. Also while having a YouTube account, if you iPod, tablet or smart phone, you have access to YouTube when ever you want or watch shows from tv on Netflix or Hulu. So at the end of the day, it’s a win situation all around.

Do you watch YouTube? Do you find YouTube entertaining?

Now Watching “The Game” on Netflix

I just finished watching Californication on which couple people recommended to me and it was so awesome. I loved it. But then I am back to square one, I need a new series to watch. Everyone I know seems to like “The Game” and makes references to it so I figured why not, let’s give it a chance. I love comedy shows and after 5 episodes in, it’s quite a fun show so far, it has a couple of actresses I like from other tv shows and series and movies, so I feel right at home watching them do their thing.

I had an idea to start my own little Netflix movie club but I am not sure if anyone would join. I think it would be fun. We would have weekly movies and series to watch and review them weekly and give them ratings. And each person in the club could recommend a movie and we all go and watch and give our opinions. Wouldn’t that be fun? Well at least for the movie lovers out there that put there $8+ Netflix subscription to use like I do.

Did you ever watch “The Game”? What do you think of the show?
